The editor of the Louisiana Jour-

THE editor of the Louisiana Jour-
nal, who is an ardent advocate OF Gen.
Nichols nomination, states in his issue
of the 10th inst, that cit will hardly 90
to declare that we will support no one
for office except those who favor the
nomination of our choice. We, at
least have not reached the point where
we are prepared to adopt such policy,
and we have no sympathy with the
selfish and proscriptive spirit OF those
who have"
We rejoice to know that at least
one "reform" editor has the manliness
to openly repudiate the selfish and
extreme policy adopted by the leaders
of that element, and candidly announce
that he will have none of it. But,
Bro. Hulse, do you not comprehend
that you are in danger of being read
out or the reform(?) party? Has it
not been proclaimed by a leading
Nichols organ that candidates for
Judge, sheriff or congress must openly
declare themselves in favor of the
above mentioned proscriptive policy
or expect no sympathy from the adhe-
rents of that faction? Has not Gen
Nichols sponsor and chief fac-totum
Col. j. NJ. Hollingsworth, virtually
said to even an ex-United States Sen.
ator that he must, without delay, fall
into line and obey the behests OF the
reformers, or suffer the pains and pen
alties of being communicated!
Bro. Hulse, you are in the wrong
crowd. Come out from among then
or else, mayhap, you will soon fee
the lash-sting of the Hollingswortl
cat-o-nine-tails. "Come over int
Macedonia and help MS" and no long
er bow the suppliant knee to thes
autocrats of pretended reform who ex
pect you to swallow their prcposterou
teachings without grinIace.-lFar

In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and Won
derful things in existence. 1t is easily
put ont of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, had cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and many other
things which ought not to be, have
made the American people nation of
dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
! can enjoy their meals and be happy
Remember No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the
dyspeptic. Ask yonr druggist for
bottle. Seventy-iive cents.

WHY MEN ARE PRoHIBITIoNIsTs

There are many men who are prohi-
tionists who can give no reason for the
belief they profess. They blindly &C
cept what somebody else says is true
principle, and one which the govern
ment should enforce. The late over
whelming majority against prohibition
in Texas will cause many such per-
sons who have not heretofore thought
upon the subject, to seek for the rea-
sons of their faith.
Temperance and prohibition must
not be COMPOUNDED. The former is one
of the highest virtues all men should
seek to practice; the latter is the pun
isbmcnt of a whole community for the
vice of drunkenness of a few of its
members. The principles which APP
pear to actuate prohibitionists are that
men are not able to take care OF them
selves and that a paternal government
must decide what they shall drink.
They never, for moment, give up a
single right or comfort of their own;ye'
they seek to deprive others of the liber
ty of drinking whatever gratities thel1
taste. This is supreme selfshness ane
brazen. faced tyranny. No law com
pels a man to drink beer, wine o.
whisky. No law prevents a man from
becoming a prohibitionist. There il
no law that ever made man a prohl
bitionist whose appetite eraved stron:
drink and who determined to gratif..
that unfortunate appetite. lu this, a
in nearly all matters affecting individ
uals, the settlement Of the question de
ponds wholly on the determination an
strength of purpose of the person con
ccrned. He can quit drinking, but n
one else can qnit for him. His con
version removes the evil from his ow
door, and furnishes good ezampl
for his weaker neighbor. But the ma
too weak to abandon an evil habi
will not be strengthened by constitr
f tional amendments or local Legislation
The man must conquer the evil or
will remain his MASTER Farmervill

EDWARD MsGlynn, il speech

George several months ago in Chick
ering Hall, used these words: u
would confscate all the land of So
called private owners throughout the
world" These words have never
been retractcd by either the one OF
the other The nearest reproach to a
recantation of the thuggish doctrine
has been when they have both made
the assertion that they do not propose
to "disturb any just right of property

ON the subject of "bosses," Bro.
Porter, of the Natchitoches Reuiew
says: "The Reyieao must confess that
it has heretofore failed to realize the
existence of any bosses or dictators in
this parish, except about 5000 gallant
Democrats who are "wild, woody, and
hard to curry" when it comes to fight
ing for democracy and especially, to
counting the votes. But in the words
of member of the bar in one of the
rural district, when the jury found his
client guilry of stealing a hog-"this

ted above we thought that the major
ity of the Democrats in this parish as
far as its political affairs are concerned
and of the district as far as it is con-
cerned, were going to decide, in a plair
old democratic fashion, who their pub
lie servants should be for the mex
four years, and we had about made III
our mind not to oppose or advocate
the claims of any individual Democra
who wanted an office and would sub
nit his claims to the party in the reg
